Coconut peanut chicken

Makes: 30 servings
Prep:  20 minutes
Deep-fry:  4 to 6 minutes per batch

Crazy about nuts?  Substitute macadamias or pecans for the peanuts; add 1/4 teaspoon salt to the flour.  And why not try turkey instead of the chicken?

Per serving:  131 calories, 5 g protein, 10 g fat, 7 g carbohydrate, 63 mg sodium, 23 mg cholesterol.

3/4 cup cocktail peanuts
2 cups sweetened flake coconut
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
2 eggs
1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breast, cut into 1-inch pieces
Vegetable oil for frying

Dipping sauce
3 tablespoons honey
3 tablespoons orange marmalade
1 tbsp soy sauce
1/2 teaspoon prepared mustard

1.  Place peanuts in a food processor.  Whirl until finely choppped.  Combine peanuts with coconut in a medium-size bowl.  Place flour in a small bowl.  Lightly beat eggs in another small bowl.

2.  Dip chicken pieces in flour to coat lightly, shaking off excess, then in eggs and then in peanut-coconut mixture.

3.  Pour oil into an electric skillet or a regular large skillet to a depth of 1/2 inch.  Set electric skillet at 350 or heat oil in a regular skillet over medium heat until it registers 350 on a deep-fat thermometer.

4.  With a slotted spoon, carefully slip chicken into hot oil, 6 pieces at a time.  Fry 4 to 6 minutes or until cooked through, turning once; adjust heat as needed to prevent peanut coating from overbrowning.  Transfer chicken to paper toweling to drain.  Keep hot in a warm oven.  Repeat with remaining chicken.

5.  Prepare dipping sauce.  Combine honey, marmalade, soy sauce and mustard in a small bowl.

6.  Place chicken on a serving plate.  Serve with sauce.

4.0 out of 5 stars Great biscotti!, November 27, 1999
This review is from: Family Circle All-Time Favorite Recipes: More Than 600 Recipes and 175 Photographs (Hardcover)
Having just purchased the Family Circle cookbook, I thought I'd make something for the holidays to share with family and friends. I decided to try both of the biscotti recipes in the book, and they were surprisingly quite simple, and turned out wonderfully. I have yet to try other recipes in the book, but if they turn out anything like my first trys I'll have to change my rating to 5 stars!

5.0 out of 5 stars A Surprising Find!, April 4, 2000
This review is from: Family Circle All-Time Favorite Recipes: More Than 600 Recipes and 175 Photographs (Hardcover)
Little did I realize that this unassuming cookbook would house between its covers some of the easiest and tastiest recipes I have found. The inventive use of spices and herbs along with interesting combinations of vegetables, pastas, and grains makes this cookbook a real find. I'm sending one to my unmarried daughter today...who knows what might happen from the Family Circle kitchen to hers!

5.0 out of 5 stars This is the best cookbook I own for all tastes!, June 26, 2000
By A Customer
This review is from: Family Circle All-Time Favorite Recipes: More Than 600 Recipes and 175 Photographs (Hardcover)
This cookbook is probably my "best" cookbook I own. I have an assortment of books that I use but I find they have just a few "favorites" that I use over and over. In this cookbook, however, I have found I have tried just about EVERY recipe! And they are all good! They are easy, nutritious and they appeal to all... young and old alike! This is important for someone trying to have a meal with the whole family, rather than cooking "adult food" for the grownups and "kid food" for the kids. The recipes don't take hours to prepare either! A true plus for someone who works yet doesn't want to feed the family pre-prepared frozen and expensive non-nutiritous junk that is ruining our health!
